Greater love has no one than this,
that one lay down his life for his friends. – John 15:13

Forget the word “christian” for a moment. Are you His follower? Look at yourself! Is your life Exhibit A, showing you actually follow?

True: We are not saved by what we do. Doing will not get you to heaven! We are only saved by faith, through grace – as we yield to God in repentance and acknowledgement of Christ’s Sovereignty.

However, those who are saved —- become followers. There will be evidence of the change salvation does to one who is made brand new inside. If there is no evidence — there was no saving done! The Bible makes it very clear: If God did not change you, then God did not save you. You are still lost, still a walking dead soul, condemned.

You must be born again, Jesus said. What about you? You can usually clearly spot the dead. Are you walking dead, or have you been made alive in Christ?
